Robb Stark

Robb Stark, played by actor Richard Madden, is the eldest son of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Stark (maiden name Tully). He is the heir to the kingdom of Winterfell and the North. He is similar to his father in that he puts honor and duty before all else. Robb is frequently seen with his direwolf Grey Wind who was discovered with five other pups outside of Winterfell. He maintains a close relationship with his kin as well as his bastard brother Jon Snow.

When Eddard was named Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon, Robb remained in Winterfell to rule in his stead. During an outing with his brother Bran, Robb fought off a group of widlings who had attacked Bran. Robb killed all the widlings but one, who was killed by Theon Greyjoy. Following Ned's imprisonment Rob raised a rebellion. Robb called his banners and marched South to Riverrun with the goal of freeing his father and aiding his mother's household. Robb split his forces, sending 2,000 men with Roose Bolton to engage Tywin Lannister's army while taking his remaining troops across the Twins to fight Jaime Lannister. In order to cross the Twins, Robb and Catelyn formed an agreement with Walder Frey in which Robb must marry a daughter of his choosing upon the end of the war. Following this, Robb ambushed the forces of Jaime Lannister, smashing his forces and taking him captive at the Battle of the Whispering Wood.

Knowing Jaime, Robb refuses his request to fight one on one, each serving as champions for their respective sides, telling him calmly, "If we do it your way Kingslayer, you'd win......we're not doing it your way." In this regards, Robb is one of the smartest of his house and proves that he is not only an extremely savvy war strategist, but also that he is not willing to put everyones life at risk for his own personal honor, a trait no doubt passed down from his father Eddard.
